I usually have to go to a regular Window's computer to get a boot disk made. I would really like to know the easiest way to do it on here, to get it on dvd or usb flash drive making it boot any system and also getting systems back to windows if need be.

Sounds to me like the OP is looking for a live distro, but his/her post is not clear enough to be of any help.

Hello and welcome back to LQ.

Agreed that we need a bit more info.

The easiest way is to burn the Linux distribution of your choice onto a CD/DVD or a flash drive by using Unetbootin.

To make it boot 'any system' simply go into the pc's BIO's and set the machine to either CD/DVD (the CDROM drive) or set to USB in the boot priority.

To boot back into Windows shut down the pc unplug the flash drive and upon your next boot your machine will boot back into Windows.

Do you have a particular distribution in mind?

[for write any bootable system on usb you can use this commands work well for me

to see usb dir

Format usb

ifyou whant format with ext.4

can be /dev/sdc depends what fdisk -l output is

to write on usb use dd command

bs-16G amount of space on usb drive

this metod works on any distro

Windows lets you create a DOS boot disk, to boot into DOS. Linux does not use DOS like that. SO are you looking for a Linux or app that Linux can run to create a Windows DOS boot disk?

I also recommend

Unetbootin (my favorite)
https://unetbootin.github.io/

or

LinuxLive

Unetbootin has always worked successfully for me and like you it's my fav too.
